DIED-

ALLIE GOODENOW HOLCOMB

Died in a Chicago hospital, Wednesday evening, December 11, 1901, Mrs. Allie Holcomb, of cancerous tumor, in the 47th year of her life. Mrs. Holcomb was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Goodenow and her death is a great blow to her hosts of friends in Maquoketa. She leaves a husband and three children, two boys and a girl to mourn her. For a number of years she has been a sufferer with this dread disease and has borne without complaint the agonies inflicted on her. All who knew her loved Allie Goodenow, as she is most commonly spoken of here, and many are the happy reminiscences of her youthful days which her saddened friends are relating to each other. But even death is better than the intense suffering which she has long undergone and so much is consolation. The funeral took place last Friday afternoon and her mother and sister, Mrs. D. H. Anderson and brother, Oce, attended from Maquoketa.
